Stage Cafe - Honolulu

We were on a mission to find a sleeper sofa bed and stumbled upon Inspiration, a cute cafe inside the building. It was cozy and we couldn't resist grabbing something to eat, even though it was past 2pm and they were about to close. There wasn't much left, but I was able to try their famous miso egg drop soup. It was simple, yet delicious and heartwarming on a chilly day. It was my first time trying miso soup with egg, and I loved it. The customer service was amazing, and the woman at the front counter was very nice and friendly. I'm glad we stopped by and I would definitely return to order more of this soup. Thanks for reading and happy dining!

Stage Cafe is a charming and cozy restaurant located in the lobby of Inspiration furniture store. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am-3pm, it's a great spot to relax and grab a quick snack. The cafe offers a variety of sweet and savory grab-and-go items, as well as daily specials like Salmon Salad, Spinach Salad, and Truffled Egg Sandwich. I couldn't resist trying the Spicy Thai Curry Soup, as it was highly recommended by the friendly staff. Although there was a slight confusion about prices and the lack of a menu for drinks, the overall experience was enjoyable. With plenty of parking and a welcoming atmosphere, Stage Cafe is a perfect place to take a break from shopping or meet up with friends. The soup was delicious and packed with hearty vegetables, making it a surprising and satisfying find. Thank you, Stage Cafe, for a great dining experience!

I use to live in Moana Pacific which is in the same structure as Inspiration furniture Its a hidden gem of a cafe, but warning it closes early!! The staff are super friendly but the best kept secret is the food is created by the wonderful folks at the high end stage restaurant up a floor. You 'll be impressed by the deserts of you have a sweet tooth. You 'll be probably paying 2x up stairs for the same sweet creations, but cheaper in the cafe! I 'd def rec this place as a quieter spot to have a coffee and chat or do some work. Sorry though no outlets if using a laptop, but these days you can we can supply your own portable power ourselves. Its also near a bus stop and Biki station so easily accessible if you don 't have a car. Parking is free in the garage if you drive. You don 't have an excuse not to check it out.... But please don 't take all the cheese cake if you go, leave me some. :

Stage Café is a hidden gem located inside the Inspiration building. While there are no signs directing you to the café, you'll know it when you see it. Their menu offers a variety of café favorites, including panini sandwiches, soups, salads, and delicious baked goods. The seating has a cozy, homey feel, making it a great spot for a casual lunch meet-up. Michael surprised us with their signature coconut macadamia nut toffee bar, which paired perfectly with our coffee. I've been a regular at Stage Café and always run into Rayla, who is incredibly sweet. Some of my personal favorites include the Chai Latte, Americano made with Illy coffee, and the oversized Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies. The Chicken Pesto Panini is warm, crispy, and gooey - definitely worth trying. Parking is convenient with complimentary garage parking on weekends and validation offered during the week.

Needed to find a good place to study at with a friend and found this place as one of the yelp options and decided to try it out. I didn't realize it was in the Inspiration Home furniture store so I was a little apprehensive when I found that out. It was a pleasant surprise at how huge the parking was! It definitely got me pumped for experiencing the rest of it because parking is always a pain. The visual aspect of the cafe definitely lived up to where it was located, interestingly in the center of the building right when you walk in through the sliding doors) so you're actually among other actual pieces of things being sold. So very interesting! It has great ambience, not too loud and very relaxing in my opinion. The cafe itself was decently small so their selection of food was respectfully limited. I had the chicken pesto panini which was wonderfully soft, but it wasn't AMAZING. I also paired it with a vanilla ice coffee $0.50 for flavored syrups FYI) and it wasn't bad. What really took the show for me was the coffee cream jelly they had which my friend tried), it was really amazing, great balance of sweetness and it was strange how creamy it was for being jelly. It was half white on top and the coffee jelly on bottom, can't miss it! Definitely the one thing I'd recommend trying. Now the biggest downside for me was that there were literally no outlets. Minus ONE by a single table nearest the garage door entrance. That was a huge downside especially since I needed an outlet for studying, so my study trip got cut really short. Overall, okay experience. But if you're looking for a place to do hardcore studying on computers or any sort of device, this isn't the place to do it. Though if you need to meet someone for lunch or need a relaxing hang out place to sit and lounge about, this is a pretty great place to do it! And definitely try the coffee jelly when you do!!
